Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Roast unpeeled garlic in a small baking dish for about 25 minutes or until soft. When cool, squeeze out the soft cooked garlic, removing and discarding the skins.

Heat a nonstick skillet and dry saute the onion until lightly browned, about 5 minutes, stirring consistently.

Steam cauliflower for about 8 to 10 minutes or until tender. Remove and place in a food processor.

Add spinach to the steamer and steam until just wilted. Set aside.

Process cauliflower, roasted garlic, cashew butter and nutritional yeast in food processor by pulsing to a chunky-smooth consistency.

Stir in sauteed onions, wilted spinach, chives and black pepper.

Place in a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until heated through, then broil until just starting to turn golden-brown.
